    contraction in skeletal muscle is caused by specialized intracellular thin and thick filaments‚ actin and myosin‚ sliding past each other. Contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle bring about body movements. These body movements are voluntary and facilitated by the somatic nervous system. Near contact between somatic motor neurons and the muscle fibers are referred to as neuromuscular junctions. It is at the neuromuscular junctions that neurons are able to transmit a signal to the muscle fibers causing

    Introduction Muscle is one of the four main types of tissue‚ and is primarily involved in movement. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. Skeletal muscle was investigated in this lab. Skeletal muscle is composed of two filaments called actin and myosin‚ which run parallel to each other. Actin has a protein that run along it called tropomyosin‚ that prevents actin from binding to it‚ unless calcium is bound to a part of the tropomyosin called troponin. Sets of actin

    Muscles are responsible for all conscious and unconscious movement. It is how we move and react to an environment. There are three types of muscles in the body include the skeletal muscle‚ smooth muscle‚ and the cardiac muscle. Whether you are running‚ walking‚ breathing‚ eating‚ sleeping‚ or typing it all involves some sort of muscle action. Muscle cells that shape‚ form‚ and outline the whole human skeleton is called a muscle fibers. There are two types of muscle fibers: Type I (slow-twitching

    REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 6 Cardiovascular Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: 1. Define each of the following terms: • autorhymicity- The heart is autorhythmic. This means it generates its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to
